Schneider Electric Lexium Cobot collaborative robots in Ukraine
Lexium Cobot is Schneider Electric's line of collaborative robots that work next to an operator without safety fencing once a risk assessment is complete. The cobot is taught by hand-guiding, and the program is built graphically, drag-and-drop, in EcoStruxure Cobot Expert from an Android or Windows tablet. The Chastotnik.ua catalog carries five arm models: 3, 5, 7, 12 and 18 kg payload, 626 to 1328 mm reach, six axes, IP54.
Every arm runs only with a Lexium Cobot controller: LXMRL03C1000 for the 3 kg model, LXMRL07C1000 for 5 and 7 kg, LXMRL12C1000 for 12 and 18 kg. The controllers are in the catalog too, and each robot page shows its compatible controller in the Accessories block.
See also the general collaborative robots page and the industrial robots section. If you need more reach or speed, compare with classic manipulators FANUC, ABB and KUKA, or among cobots, with Universal Robots.
Lexium Cobot models: payload and reach
The figures below come from the official Lexium Cobot Hardware Guide (EIO0000004783). Note that a higher payload does not automatically mean a longer reach, the 12 kg model has the longest reach in the line.
| Model | Payload | Reach | Repeatability | Weight | Controller |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LXMRL03S0000 | 3 kg | 626 mm | ±0.02 mm | 13 kg | LXMRL03C1000 |
| LXMRL05S0000 | 5 kg | 954 mm | ±0.02 mm | 22.6 kg | LXMRL07C1000 |
| LXMRL07S0000 | 7 kg | 819 mm | ±0.02 mm | 22.7 kg | LXMRL07C1000 |
| LXMRL12S0000 | 12 kg | 1328 mm | ±0.03 mm | 42.5 kg | LXMRL12C1000 |
| LXMRL18S0000 | 18 kg | 1073 mm | ±0.03 mm | 35.8 kg | LXMRL12C1000 |
What the controller provides
The Lexium Cobot cabinet controller runs off 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz mains and feeds the arm 48 V DC. It carries 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs and two configurable analog channels on 24 V logic, normally enough to integrate a conveyor, gripper and safety signals without an extra I/O module. Supported protocols are TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET, so the cobot connects to an existing Modicon PLC or a third-party controller out of the box. The enclosure is 410×308×235 mm, IP44.
Where Lexium Cobot is used
Typical jobs are machine tending, palletizing small containers, assembly and screwdriving, packaging, dispensing, and vision-based quality inspection. The 3 and 5 kg models usually go to benchtop work and CNC loading, 7 and 12 kg to transfer and palletizing, 18 kg to heavier cycles where tool flange speed up to 3.5 m/s matters. Mounting position is not fixed: the arm can sit on a table, a wall or a ceiling.
Safety and pricing
Collaborative operation does not remove the mandatory application-level risk assessment per ISO 12100 and ISO/TS 15066: the cobot itself has built-in safety functions, but permissible speed and force depend on the gripper, the part and the geometry of the work cell. A gripper that cuts or has sharp edges almost always requires additional measures.
Catalog prices are per arm or per controller separately, in UAH incl. VAT. A complete cell for a specific task, including gripper and tooling selection, is quoted on request.
